4th of July 2010

Mike and Lamiae hosted their annual Independence Day bash in Sandstone, and once again we had a great time.

When we rode through one of the cattle pastures, the cattle started following us (Karl said they were enticed by the hay we were sitting on).

Because of the rain earlier in the day, Mike had to bail out the fire pit, with the help (?) of Karl and Colin.

Angie demonstrates her loon call to the delight of Karl and Max.

I managed to get a picture of the kids while they were all in one spot...

...but then things fell apart and they just got silly. I'm not sure what the deal with the shirts is.

Yay! The fire is started and the fireworks are about to begin. This is when the battery in our camera petered out, so you'll just have to take my word that the fireworks were (mostly--ask Laura) a success! Thanks Mike and Lamiae!
